aromatics and the light gaseous flavors that register on the palate.The high pressure and the short brewing time prevent the extraction of bitter oils and release less caffeine than any other brewing method.

Experiment with your new machine and prepare yourself the best and most enjoyable cup of coffee! 3b.

and use as described in the ground coffee funnel (chapter 11). Please note: If you like flavored coffees we recommend to add flavors to your coffee after brewing. This way you can use your regular coffee beans in the bean container. Adding the flavors after brewing lets you control the intensity much better than with pre-flavored coffee. Your local coffee store typically carries a variety of flavors. • Open the Cover Lid (Fig. 5). • Remove the Aroma Protection Lid (Fig. 6).
• The bigger the dots, the coarser the grinding. IMPORTANT: The grinding grade can only be adjusted while the grinder is actually grinding. ATTENTION: Oily beans tend to stick together. Stir beans just before grinding to ensure a proper flow of beans into the burrs. Please note: If coffee does not flow in a constant stream, turn the grinder to a coarser setting. 8. DAILY PREPARATION We recommend filling the water container every morning with fresh, cold water. This will enhance the taste of your coffee.
9b. THE A LA CARTE BUTTON The S Avantgarde has a fifth coffee button (Fig. 3A,N). With this button you can change the coffee volume and the coffee strength just before brewing. • Push the A LA CARTE button.

Please note: The tip of the dual frother should be attached finger tight to the rod (Fig. 14b). The top of the rod is flexible. Make sure the rod is properly seated over the steam nozzle, touching the chrome cover (Fig. 4). Tips for steaming: Leave the sleeve in the "up" position (Fig. 14). Make sure that the milk does not start boiling. You can stop the steaming process at any time by pushing either steam button. To continue steaming, push either steam button again.
Frothing • Place a cup underneath the frothXpress (see Fig. 15a). The machine is ready to produce steam as long as both green lights in the steam buttons are illuminated. If they are off, just push either button. Both lights will start blinking for about 15 seconds and then will stay illuminated. • Make sure that the dial points to the 12 o'clock position. • Press the PERMANENT steam button. The display will read STEAM INTAKE and frothing will begin immediately.
For a more thorough cleaning you can take the pieces apart. When attaching the chrome sleeve to the black nipple, angle it as shown above. Use a twisting back and forth motion and gently push the two pieces together. 10g. CLEANING THE MILK CONTAINER • Remove the lid of the milk container.

You can change the water hardness setting to comply with the water you are using (chapter 15a). Please note: The machine will automatically remind you when it is necessary to run certain water maintenance programs. It is important that you follow those instructions. Otherwise your machine might break down. 14.
